APOLLO ULTRASONIC OIL LEVEL MONITOR

THE RIGHT CHOICE

• The Apollo Ultrasonic Oil Level Monitor measures the level of usable oil in your tank in 10 graduations of the tank height.
• We give a full 1 year warranty subject to normal conditions. Supplied with long-life lithium battery (3V-CR2430). The warranty becomes invalid if the sealed unit is opened.
• Suitable for use in tanks for the storage of diesel fuel, kerosene, gas oil types A2, C1, C2, and D as defined by BS 2869. Check with the manufacturer and/or supplier before using with any other fluids.
• The Apollo Ultrasonic will fit easily to most standard oil storage tanks (plastic or steel) that has a 20 mm, 32 mm or 38mm (1½”) gauge hole.

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Star/Philips head screwdriver & Tape Measure

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING RECEIVER

• Accurately measure the height of your tank. Using the tank height chart on page 2, read across to the relevant multi-switch settings. The multi-switches are located in a recess at the back of the receiver above the pins.
• Using a screwdriver or the tip of a ballpoint pen, flip the relevant switch (es) upwards (= ON). As an example, if the tank is 850 mm high, set switches ON (Up) Number 4 & 8.
• Set switch 1 on/up to enable the low-level audible warning.
• Your Apollo Ultrasonic receiver is now programmed to your tank height.

MATCHING RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER

• You should match the receiver with the transmitter so that the system code is unique to your tank.
• You only need to do this once.
• Plug the receiver into a suitable and convenient electrical socket and switch on. The display screen on the front of the receiver will show a flashing top bar as shown in the diagram. This indicates that the receiver is awaiting a unique code. The flashing top bar will last for 2 minutes during which time you can match the transmitter to the receiver.
• Hold the transmitter against the receiver’s right-hand side, as shown, so that the black dots are touching each other (important!) for about 20 seconds to allow the unique code to be transferred. Bars will increase up the display screen. During the matching process, you will hear an audible beep to indicate matching is in progress. A change in tone will indicate the completion of the matching process. When all 10 bars are shown they will flash to indicate that the unique code is transferred.

FITTING TRANSMITTER

• The procedure is the same for fitting to both old and new tanks.

• For tanks with pre-drilled 20 mm or 32 mm hole

• Remove cap from hole and insert the transmitter, ensuring the weather seal is securely in place.

• Ensure the transmitter is vertical on top of the tank.

• Tighten onto the tank using the 2 stainless steel self-tapping screws supplied. Do not over-tighten. Do not use longer screws.

• For tanks with 1½” (38 mm) BSP gauge socket An optional adapter is available

• Unscrew cap from the hole and fit the adapter provided by screwing into the gauge socket.

• Fit the transmitter to the adaptor on the tank as described above.

• The Apollo Ultrasonic Oil Level Monitor is now fully installed and signals should be received every hour. If the transmitter is installed within 10 minutes of matching, the current level will be displayed otherwise, it may take one hour for the correct oil level indication to be displayed on screen.

NOTE

• Please ensure the receiver is plugged into an electrical socket at all times. Do not unplug to reset.
• In the event of a power failure or if the receiver is switched off or moved to a new socket: When power returns again or unit is switched on, the receiver display screen will show the top bar flashing. There is no need to repeat the matching instruction. The top bar will continue to flash for 2 minutes, after which time the display screen will be blank, whilst the unique signal is located. This may take up to one hour.
